Phil Jackson is tired of having to coach on Christmas Day and also dislikes the NBA's expanded holiday schedule.

"It used to be two teams," Jackson said. "It used to be Phoenix and L.A. and New York and Boston or New York and Philly or somebody on the East coast. Now I see that they have like six games on Christmas."

There are actually five games schedule this season, including the Heat at the Lakers.

"I don't think anybody should play on Christmas Day," Jackson said. "Soccer teams don't play this time of year, they take a break. I don't understand it.

Kobe Bryant has played on Christmas Day 13 times in his 15-year career.

"It's like Christian holidays don't mean anything to them anymore," said Jackson. "We just go out and play and entertain the TV. It's really weird."
